Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2018
Last time the A-10 flew a demo and HF in Abbotsford (2011), the A-1 Skyraider flew the Heritage Flight. Wouldn't be a bit surprised to see this happen again. Might explain why Val Halla is just static.

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2018
On another note, I read that the Navy static display limits have been lifted for 2018! Great news, does the USAF still have static restrictions? We never did figure out why the second A-10 was parked in no-mans land this year. I haven't heard. Would be nice to get back to the days of 10+ Heavies th...

Re: Navy Legacy Flights to Return in 2018? Plus more!
Lots of great news in this report! Just one question: Does the "no limit" on static displays apply to the USAF as well as the Navy? Or is this just no limit for the Navy displays?

Re: Abbotsford International Airshow 2018
Just to build on the confirmation of Rob Holland returning, Abbotsford has also confirmed that we will see the return of Greg Colyer in his T-33 (no longer tentative). Other additions include Gary Rower in his Stearman and Dan Buchanan. *Editted* On another note, I read that the Navy static display ...

Re: 2017 Abbotsford International Airshow
Keep in mind schedules like this are fluid and act more like guidelines than strict schedules. Things change on an hour to hour basis due to things like weather, mechanical issues, and the happenings of normal airport operations at YXX with airlines and Conair. Regardless, lots of jet action at this...

Re: 2017 Abbotsford International Airshow
The smoke is still covering the valley, however visibility looks improved this morning. At least from where I am looking from. Hopefully the smoke has moved on by Thursday. A new schedule of events was posted in the local paper. It has the F-16 performing following the Snowbirds on Friday evening. T...

Re: 2017 Abbotsford International Airshow
It's a bit disappointing as I've attempted to contact someone from the Airshow through various social media multiple times and received no response whatsoever. I think if they want to attract a wide demographic then they need to better utilize things like Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. That being...

Re: 2017 Abbotsford International Airshow
I'd like to hope that Abbotsford still has a few hidden secrets, but considering the complete lack of social media and promotion for the show, I don't know what to expect. I don't even think the website can be entirely trusted. I really hope they get their act together. I see London promoting new re...
